150 years ago, President Lincoln found it necessary to hire a private investigator - Alan Pinkerton for protection. That was the beginning of the Secret Service. Since that time, the federal government has produced a large number of multi-letter agencies such as: FBI, CIA, INS, IRS, DEA...

He isn't a carrier! Yay! It only took 4 weeks more than they said it would to get the results back. Haha!

Lately everday my whole body has hurt! I woke up in agony this morning! It wouldn't be so bad if it was just one two parts of my body buts it everywhere! I think it is stress related, because I have a lot of stress right now. I talked to my boss about cutting my hours temporarily and he...

I'm thinking that I'll see about getting a vest at my next clinic visit (June 11th). But I'm just wondering, does insurance typically cover it? How long does the whole process take? Am I in for a fight with my insurance?

I've been on a round of Tobi and oral antibiotics (the oral one is a new one for me, I don't remember the name off the top of my head, starts with M) and this morning I woke up and my tongue felt like I had burned it. You know how it gets kind of hyper-sensitive if you burn your tongue/mouth...

I have been so busy I haven't had a chance to post this yet. Brian had a migrane of Wednesday and the clinic on base was all booked up. So he went into the ER to get a shot of toridol in the booty. Its the only thing that seems to really work for his migranes. Anyway, he gets his shot, and...

Thanks everyone for your support. Brian was in with the base psychiatrist for about an hour this morning. He was diagnosed with depression, of course, and started on meds. He sees a therapist on Tuesday and the shrink again in 2 weeks. His commanding officer is not letting him off light at...

At about 8:20 this morning while he was at work, Brian took all of a small bottle of Aleve. I called him (just to say hi) at about 8:40. He sounded really down and I was worried, he had been late to work which is a no no in the military. But he said he was fine, just having a bad day. At...

My follow up pap was normal! No more pre-cancerous cells. This means a: I can go back to yearly paps and b: we can try to get pregnant soon!

I really want to work from home!!! Its partly for health reasons. I work with the public, so that's germ city right there, not to mention all the money I handle every day. I don't even want to know what's on there! But I also would like to be able to set my own schedule and have more time to...

I know how important it is, especially for CFers, to drink lots of water. I just can't seem to do it though! I have to have something with taste. I am a total sweet tooth too, so juice really hits the spot for me. I also admit to drinking too much soda. The dietician at my clinic said that...

It looks like Brian and I will be able to start trying in the relatively near future. SO I was just wondering how long it took for you to get preggers and if you used anything to help with conception (robitussin, mucinex, fertility monitors or drugs). Let me know! I already have the name of...

Ok, not that I'd want Brian to have cancer again, and when he did it was the most horrible time of my life, but it helped us today. His name came up as possibly being eligible for deployment to Iraq but because of the cancer he's not eligible!!! I know its totally selfish, and I support our...

A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed: "Dear Lord: I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through, so please allow her body to...

I had a tooth extracted on the 6th and my jaw hasn't been right ever since. I have TMJ so I was expecting some discomfort, but this isn't getting any better. I've tried heat and ice, ibuprofen, aleve, massaging it, stretching....nothing works. I can barely chew anything. I am freaking...

I just happened to catch a special on one of our local stations about Children's Hospital. They hit on a lot of topics like cancer and pain management, but there was a very good segment about their work with CF. They interviewed Dr. Bonnie Ramsy who was my doctor when I went there! Seattle...

Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their new wives duties. The first man had married a woman from Colorado and had told her that she was going to do dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple days, but on the third day he came home to a clean house and dishes...
